Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Global Survey of Early Career Researchers in #stroke rehabilitation

Every minute, 30 people have a stroke. Half will die. Most strokes are preventable, treatable & recoverable. We have the tools—now we need action. Urge world leaders to act on stroke at #HLM4. Sign the letter www.strokeactioncoalition.org/get-involved #StrokeActionNow #ActOnNCDs

Opportunities such as these are essential to building partnerships and develop a research agenda that is informed by the strengths, needs, and insights of those most affected.

#CerebralVenousThrombosis #CVT #stroke

This week, the @vancouverstroke.bsky.social hosted a meaningful conversation on research priorities in Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT), bringing together individuals with living/lived experience and researchers.

@dianawr.bsky.social
#CerebralVenousThrombosis #CVT #stroke

This is a forum in which researchers and clinicians are given the opportunity to talk to each other about questions they have on aspects of neurorehabilitation and may inspire more clinicians to get involved in research.

2/2 Mines depart very slightly from these, mostly in the way some questions are asked and/or answered.

As I look at your example, I would probably want to substitute the term "responsible individuals" with "researchers" and reword #4. Does your ethics committee give you some leeway to do this?

1/ The term 'legal rights' seems to be used in many consent forms. Ours don't have 'regulatory authorities' (who are they, by the way?). Our generic consent form for minimal risk studies can be accessed here researchethics.ubc.ca/clinical-res....

The world’s first multisector advocacy movement dedicated to stroke,the Global Stroke Action Coalition, has issued an urgent call to action to address growing inequities in stroke. Without intervention; the burden of stroke is projected to rise by a further 50% by 2025. lnkd.in/e_zz3YGs

There is definitely a tension between procedural ethics and ethics-in-practice/situated ethics. I think those of us who conduct qualitative research or use community-based/participatory research approaches often have to be quite creative. Do you use lay information sheets?

The @worldstrokeorg.bsky.social Future Stroke Leaders Programme is a one of a kind program. I'm grateful to have met brilliant minds and passionate individuals from around the world, each committed to advance #stroke care, during our time in Perugia last week

Patient-Reported Nonmotor Outcomes After Stroke This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the prevalence, natural history, and factors associated with multidomain nonmotor outcome burden in patients with stroke.

It’s certainly the most comprehensive meta-analysis I’ve ever been involved with 🤓

TLDR: non-motor symptoms after stroke are common across domains and guess what? Not a great deal has changed in the last decade. A real wake up call to the field to address this huge unmet need
